In September, 2006, the
Libertarian party of Massachusetts held a State Convention. A new State
Committee was elected. The new members are Carol McMahon (Chair), George
Phillies (Vice Chair), Mary-Anne Wolf (Recording Secretary), David Roscoe
(Membership Secretary), Walter Ziobro (Treasurer), Stephanie Woiciechowski
(Editor), Bill Hees (Webmaster), Arthur Torrey, Bob Underwood, and Steve
Drobnis. The current
owner of the LPMA.ORG URL refused to transfer ownership of the URL to the LPMA
State Committee. The
State Party web site was migrated to
http://www.lpmass.org so that the State Party would own its own web site.

The new LPMA Officers are
largely the same as the Liberty for Massachusetts officers. After some
consideration, Liberty for Massachusetts was put into a state of suspended
animation. The
http://www.LibertyforMassachusetts.org web pages remain active.

LfM sets political goals:

At its
September 2005 meeting, the Liberty for Massachusetts State Organizing Committee
voted unanimously to approve a motion:

An intermediate term objective for
Liberty for Massachusetts should be recruiting 81 candidates for State
Representative, so that there are libertarian candidates for a majority of all
seats in the lower house of the state legislature.

This
objective is targeted for achievement over the next 3-4 election cycles.

Massachusetts brings to our fellow libertarians in Massachusettsan organization

A Message from
our Chair

The primary objective of Liberty for Massachusetts was to
reform Libertarian party politics in Massachusetts, to create an effective
channel for partisan libertarian political activity, and to end harmful cults of
personality. Market competition was the path we chose to resolve these
challenges.

The market has triumphed! Admittedly, there are now
challenges to reconstructing the LPMA, which has lost most of its membership due
to an extended period of total inactivity, but those challenges can and will be
overcome.
